Robin Trower - Shine - VINYL LP

Blue vinyl pressing. For six decades, Robin Trower's career has been an act of quiet rebellion. Rewind the reels of the British guitarist's backstory and you'll find an artist who has always rolled the dice rather than take the path of least resistance. Fast-forward to 2023 and Trower's new studio album, Joyful Sky, represents vindication for his latest flash of artistic instinct. Always receptive to singers who can elevate his emotive guitar touch, the 78-year-old heard a quality in the smoky power of the acclaimed New Yorker Sari Schorr that made him want to tear down and rebuild his songcraft around her. InchI've worked with some great vocalists over the years but Sari is dynamite, just an absolute knockout,Inch reflects Trower. InchThis album really pushed me, made me write in different keys and arrange songs for her voice. I went more down the R&B route this time, because I knew she'd be great with that flavour. But the blues still underpins everything I do - and there's definitely elements from my '70s stuff in this new album.Inch Album Tracks 1. Burn 2. I'll Be Moving on 3. The Distance 4. Peace of Mind 5. Change It 6. Joyful Sky 7. Need for You 8. The Circle Is Complete 9. Flatter to Deceive 10. I Will Always Be Your Shelter
